March is one of the busiest times of the year for NFL teams, marking the start of free agency and the new league year. Major questions arise for all 32 clubs – which players to keep, and who to let walk and test the open waters?
Nate Davis of USA TODAY Sports recently took a look at all the soon-to-be free agents and ranked his top 20 unsigned players heading into the 2020 season.
Seahawks defensive end Jadeveon Clowney landed at No. 2 on his list.
“Stats have never accurately illustrated his value,” writes Davis. “Clowney had just three sacks in 2019 for the Seahawks and has never exceeded double digits. But he’s an every-down player who’s scheme-diverse and almost always commands a double team.
“He’s expressed a desire to stay in Seattle, but the ‘Hawks could have some hard decisions ahead.”
The Seahawks have also expressed interest in the defensive end staying put in Seattle but the numbers will need to shake out favorably for both sides for an extension to come to fruition.
The start of free agency and the new league year kicks off on March 18.
